Chris Jordan on Joe Root’s Future: A Personal Insight
In an exclusive conversation with CricTracker, former English all-rounder Chris Jordan expressed his optimism that England’s captain Joe Root could eventually eclipse the legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar in Test cricket.
Root’s Mental Fortitude and Drive
“I definitely think it’s possible,” Jordan began. “Just knowing Joe personally – his mentality, his drive, his want to always get better, to keep evolving is what’s kept him at this level for so long.”
The Ashes Series Context
Discussing the current state of England’s performance in the ongoing Ashes series, Jordan stated, “I definitely don’t think it’s become a villain. I definitely think that if you follow the games closely and you look at it through a slightly different lens, it’s very easy to look at it as, ‘okay, it’s 3-1 down’. But throughout all three of those games at different points, England dominated sessions and even found themselves ahead in some of those games.”
Root’s Performance Highlights
The conversation turned towards Joe Root specifically. “Even coming into this Ashes, it was well documented that he had never got 100 in Australia. He put that to bed within a couple of games, you know,” Jordan continued. “So, when you see that kind of fight and determination in a player, it definitely stands him in good stead to have longevity. And as long as he has longevity, I don’t see any reason why he wouldn’t eclipse Sachin at some point.”
Conclusion
“He’s been such a quality performer over a long period of time,” concluded Jordan. “And with the way he wants to always get better and keep evolving, there’s no reason why he won’t achieve something special in his career.”
